Very excited to share our new findings on REM sleep latency and AD biomarkers🧠 - REM #sleep is more than a #DREAM! Special thanks to @Yunfeng_Zheng for making this fun and productive collaboration happen! @UCSFHospitals @UCSFPsychiatry @UCSFmac @alzassociation @SleepPIA

We are 📢hiring📢 a research coordinator in the @MorminoLab at Stanford to work on exciting new sleep and aging projects!

It’s Tuesday in Philadelphia and we’re at Poster 490 talking about Sleep and Alzheimer’s disease we have some interesting results so come out and hear about it!

Very excited about Alex’s poster relating actigraphy-measured sleep with self reported next-day sleep quality. More to come soon from this project!!

Check out the #MorminoLab posters tomorrow at #AAIC24, with work from @pddoc🩸, @ClaireD_MD🧬, and @joe__winer😴 @alzassociation @Stanford_Neuro

👏🏻Bravo👏🏻 to @joe__winer for a tremendous presentation to close out the “Neuroimaging Correlates of Risk and Protective Factors” Scientific Session at #AIC #AAIC24 @NeuroimagingPIA @alzassociation

I am thrilled and very grateful that our project collecting and sharing actigraphy data across ADRCs has been selected by @NACCData! We are very excited to get started!

In @nytimes featuring our very own @joe__winer: "How Sleep Affects Your Risk of Dementia." For older adults, too much or too little sleep has been tied to cognitive issues. Learn more: https://t.co/7t9jZkgMCv #Sleep #Dementia

This is a really nice study showing (small) elevations in Alzheimer's and neurodegeneration biomarkers in the evening versus the morning. Toxicity of wakefulness! 🤪

🔔What could be the role of plasma pTau181 in Lewy body disease? Our study shows that plasma pTau181 detects AD co-pathology, predicts baseline and longitudinal clinical outcomes, and identifies patients with increased risk of converting to MCI/dementia

Thrilled to be pitching (LIVE!) our pilot proposal to @NACCData @gatesfoundation on 5/31. We want to collect harmonized sleep and activity data across the NACC/ADRC network and make it freely available to researchers everywhere!

The evidence is better, I think, that extended *wake* leads to elevated production of amyloid and tau. One benefit of sleep may be to give the brain a break from the toxicity of wakefulness.

My experience talking about sleep in the aging and Alzheimer's field is that many take for granted sleep = waste clearance. But the evidence has been limited to a handful of studies, almost all in mice. This study is important evidence for reconsidering the role of sleep

Interested in healthy aging? Memory mechanisms? Neuroimaging? Want to gain experience before applying to grad school? We are hiring a coordinator to work on the Stanford Aging and Memory Study (SAMS)! Apply at the link below! https://t.co/8zY6IezllS

Excellent new work from our own @DrMVanEgroo showing the importance of the #locuscoeruleus in sleep-wake regulation in Alzheimer's disease. With @grinberg_t, Eus van Someren & David Bennett @MaastrichtU @MGH_RI

Our paper on impaired sleep-wake rhythms predicting future Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and cognitive decline in the UK Biobank actigraphy cohort (N=82,829!) is out now in @AlzheimersRes ! ⌚️😴🏃‍♀️🧠 https://t.co/mqiwLgQEpD

thrilled for another year of manatees and PET imaging @HAIconference with @MorminoLab

If you work in sleep/AD research, have your say! Complete our Delphi survey for consensus recommendations on sleep/circadian measures. Proud of this global collaborative work supported by @SleepPIA of @alzassociation @claire_c_andre @cogsleep https://t.co/cfPfyzBvMC
